Note that barbarians are a frontline damage role, not a tank role. Their high HP offsets that their damage method involves wading onto combat making themselves vulnerable.The suite of abilities monks have is what WotC typically uses for assassin classes like rogues which are expected to be fairly weak to direct physical confrontations with frontline fighters and tanks, but good at ignoring the attacks of their squishier targets.Moreover, ignoring roles, they have these defenses instead of higher hit points. In Team Fortress 2 terms, they are scouts who bounce around bonking snipers and medics to death after simply jumping over the heavy. They may need to be better at their role, or their role might not be valid in 5E and they need to be scrapped, but their suite of abilities is not subtle.</blockquote>
